How did the U.S. get into a war over non-existent "weapons of mass destruction"? How did we allow our civil rights to be hijacked and our environment raped? How did we manage to let our personal savings be plundered? How did we get into an exploding financial depression?The greed of Wall Street and many CEOs is linked to the poor parenting of some conservatives, who learned to value success and personal gain more than caring for others. The character disorders of a Bernie Madoff, many investment bankers, sub-prime realtors,past U.S. presidents, and bellicose leaders such as Alexander the Great, Napoleon, Hitler, and Stalin may spring from early childhood trauma, especially from men's conflicts withtheir fathers.A series of losses abetted by rapid social change and life in an increasingly complex society instead of close-knit communities has accelerated the move to the Right over the past thirty years. It even brought us to the brink ofdictatorship. These losses-of identity, self-esteem, love and affection, social supports, and control over life events-are still threatening. Add to the mix poor parenting and you have a perfect recipe for the intense longing for authority, religion, and a homogeneous community life that preceded Hitler's Germany. With luck, President Obamaand his team can save us from thisauthoritarian tide.

When James Pedersen, DDS graduated from dental school, he knew how to make his own gold castings, build his own porcelain crowns, cast his own partial denture frameworks, weld the fixed bridges together, prepare teeth for crowns and bridges without a chair-side assistant, fabricate full dentures, and pour his own plaster models. Because of his excellent dental education, he knew precisely how all the mechanics of dentistry worked. Dentistry is a multifaceted profession, and in many cases an art form, which also requires extensive medical knowledge, mechanical expertise, manual dexterity, and a kind, gentle, chair-side approach to the patient. He worked standing up for more than thirty-six years.Dental Dilemma is a humorous and pragmatic analysis of the dental profession and its metamorphosis into a highly competitive business.

In recent years, the debate over science, reason, and religion has reached a peak (or a high plateau, depending on your perception of time scales) of intensity, breadth, and confrontational vigor. Hundreds of Web sites, blogs, and forums have sprung up, enabling the debate to rage day-to-day. But people will always want points of view to be encapsulated in portable form: books. Faith in the Unseen is a contribution to the debate. Its author, Dr. Rashid Seyal, who is a consultant cardiologist with numerous books on cardiology and religion under his belt, approaches the debate on the "faith" side as a religious man (he is a Muslim) with a strong background in science. The title of his book places the emphasis on the key issue that stands between the scientific atheist side and the faith side: evidence, and the absence thereof. For fundamentalist believers, evidence (other than what is written in holy books) is simply not an issue. However, for the rational religious believer, it is a pivotal point and must be rationalized. It is divided into substantial chapters, each dealing with a major subject of faith and/or reason, and each chapter is subdivided into sections, which discuss various detailed aspects or examples, including death, the afterlife, and the philosophy of life.

No es un obra mas sobre "administracion de empresas," sino un original e interesante tratado que esclarece el autentico rol del directivo empresarial. Las universidades preparan profesionistas, mas no forman directivos. Los tratadistas ofrecen funciones tecnicas, difiriendo de unos a otros, mas no un modelo integral de su papel. Ante esa confusa diversidad los directivos tienden mas a cuidar la operacion diaria encimandose a los demas niveles de mando, descuidando su principal responsabilidad: la estrategia. Para establecer las funciones del directivo lo primero es comprender que es la empresa. Los tratadistas lo pasan por alto. Apoyado en el Enfoque de Sistemas, el autor conceptualiza la esencia de la empresa como organizacion productiva, humana y social. De ahi desprende las funciones gerenciales clasificadas en cuatro areas de actuacion: Directiva-Empresarial, Tecnologica, Administrativa y de Direccion Humana. Con esta clasificacion desarrolla la descripcion de las funciones tanto de Alta Gerencia General, como de Alta Gerencia Funcional, Gerencia Media y Gerencia de Primera Linea, niveles de direccion complementarios entre si. Mas la comprension integral del rol directivo se perfecciona al analizar sus implicaciones eticas. Bajo solidas reflexiones de filosofia social sobre el hombre y el significado de su trabajo, la esencia y fines de la empresa como institucion social, el autor propone la Deontologia del Directivo aplicando los principios de la etica para humanizar sus funciones. En inapelable sintesis: el directivo debe concertar la eficacia de la empresa con su esencia humana y social. Viene a llenar un trascendente hueco sobre la gestion empresarial."
